None were over 30 years old…

The Mets won the World Series in both of those seasons.

That being said, I am very excited to watch him pitch. I think he has the physical tools to be a legit #3, should he be able to keep his mental deck of cards in order.

However, I would love to be the fan at the game where Silva was put out there to “be set on fire.”

Such a spectacle might indeed be entertaining…though as hot and dry as it’s been around here lately, perhaps inadvisable.

I would hate to be the fan at the game where Silva was put out there to “sparkle”.

Ok, that’s mean. But perhaps the Moose can chase him around the infield with the ATV? I’d buy a ticket to watch that.

I’m starting to think Curveballlee is joking.

If he is, then it’s not “joking.” The accurate term for it is “trolling.” I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, as clueless and confident are not mutually exclusive (unfortunately, as everything from talk radio to foreign policy often demonstrate), but someone asserting that last year’s rotation offers more potential for the dollar than next year’s, or that this year’s team is less worthy of time spent at the ballpark than last year’s, has wandered down the spectrum from clueless to delusional.

Suppose its one of those “pretend to be crazy to get out of jury duty” things.

And, appropriately, the Indianapolis Indians are in the same division with the Toledo Mud Hens, beloved team of one Corporal Max Klinger.

about Snell being a ‘headcase’: If I was in the Pirates starting rotation, I’d probably ask to be demoted,too.

This made me laugh for quite a while.

I suppose a choice between Pittsburgh and Indy is probably not a tough choice.

I think with Wak, Adair, and Wettland coaching him, he can become a pretty decent pitcher. Not an ace by any means, but that’s not what we need. We already have a good one. We just need someone who more often than not goes out there and puts his team in a position to win, and I think he can do that.

They cut Shelton for french.

Given the alternatives, I find that very disappointing.
